Experienced Defoliation User Question

JiminyCricketstarted grow question 5y ago

Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

I have a 150W (50 3w LEDS) and a 300W (60 5w LEDS). I've been using just the 300W for the entire grow in my grow box which is only 4' X 1.5' X 1.1' Does anyone think I should be using the 150W light at any point in the grow, and if so, when?

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

I'm trying to find some information on whether or not we should keep the plant in 24-72 hours of darkness before harvest. Some people say yes, some say no, I was wondering what the community thought and practiced.

Good evening, When looking at the trichs under a microscope, I am noticing basically just clear or clear with red tips, and no cloudy trichs like my last grow. I don't want to go much longer, the buds look great. Any ideas? Can I harvest part now and some later with autos?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Any thoughts on these trichomes? Plant is only about 6 weeks through flowering, but the trichomes looks super milky and somewhat amber, and its about 80% red hairs. Strain is supposed to be an 8-9 week flowering period. I prefer higher proportion milky, but this seems early....

My main question at this point is should I be defoliating some of the fan leaves to expose more bud sites or just leave it go? I've read opinions on both sides, some stating that autoflowers don't particularly respond well to defoliation and others think that it is critical
